Cannondale Moterra SL Lab71

Cannondale achieves this by using their proprietary LAB71 carbon construction, which strips away excess material without compromising structural integrity. By pairing this lightweight frame with a custom-tuned Shimano EP801 motor and a high-density 601Wh battery, you get the agility of a lighter bike with the 85Nm torque output typically reserved for heavier, full-power e-MTBs.

Yes, the bike is equipped with 160mm of travel up front via a Fox Float Factory 36 fork and a true four-bar suspension system in the rear. This setup is designed to handle technical, high-speed descents while maintaining the traction and playfulness required for modern trail riding.

FlexPivot technology replaces traditional heavy pivot bearings with a carbon flex zone in the chainstay. This reduces overall weight and maintenance requirements while allowing the suspension to track the ground more effectively, resulting in better traction and a more responsive ride feel.

The bike features adjustable head angle geometry, which allows you to slacken the front end for more stability on steep, technical descents or steepen it for sharper handling on tighter, flowy trails. This adjustability ensures the bike can be tuned to match your specific riding style and local terrain.

Because it is a wireless, electronic system, the SRAM XX Eagle AXS drivetrain is incredibly precise and requires less cable tension adjustment than mechanical systems. You will need to keep the batteries charged and ensure the derailleur hanger is straight, but otherwise, it is designed for high-performance reliability with minimal fuss.

The DT Swiss XMC 1501 carbon wheelset comes tubeless-ready, making it straightforward to swap tires if you prefer a different tread pattern for specific seasons or terrain. The rims have a 30mm inner width, which is the industry standard for supporting a wide range of modern trail tire widths.
